]]>Autogynephilia or AGP, ‘a man’s propensity to be aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman’ is one of the two possible causes of Gender Dysphoria. It is the cause of all non-homosexual Gender Dysphoria in males. It is completely different in nature from Homosexual Gender Dysphoria (HGD), which leads to Homosexual Transsexualism or HSTS. This article only discusses AGP, the men affected by it and possible treatment strategies. None of will apply to HSTS or HGD. I have written this in response to an increasing number of requests on my website and my YouTube channel, in order to try to help.

Autogynephilia can be a massively debilitating condition that may completely disrupt the life of the subject and his family. It can lead to depression, suicidality, alcoholism and a range of other disorders. It frequently results, especially in the Western profile, in loss of career, family, home and in financial ruin. Divorce and estrangement from wife and children are commonplace. People close to the subject are invariably traumatised by an adult transition and there is simply no support for them. There is absolutely no doubt that Autogynephilia is real and devastating.

There is no cure for autogynephilia that I am aware of. A major problem with developing one is that those affected by the condition would have to actually recognise that they had a disorder for any treatment to have a hope of success. But AGPs are habitually in denial, especially in the overt stages of the condition. They go to extreme lengths to deny the very existence of the condition, or that they are subject to it. Worse, they are encouraged in this by ignorant professionals and ‘therapists’ who are not doctors or psychologists and who do not understand the condition.

Transition is much vaunted as a ‘cure’ but that could only be for those who wish to do so; persuading AGPs to follow this path is clearly unethical. Yet I routinely receive communications from men who tell me that they are hectored on to the ‘transition express train’ even by real doctors. There can’t be any justification for such behaviour

The unethical nature of this policy is especially so since we do not know the actual success of transition in AGPs, in therapeutic terms, since the AGP lobby actively tries to block any such research, an aim in which it is succeeding.

In an act of utter cowardice, universities have acquiesced and research has practically stopped now.

Earlier this year, Bath University axed a research project, which had previously been approved, that aimed to establish a reliable baseline for AGP desistance (detransition). The University withdrew its support in case it might ’cause upset’ in the ‘trans community’. Imagine if psychopaths demanded we stop researching psychopathy for fear of hurting their feelings!

Causes

There might be an innate propensity towards AGP, which manifests in pre-pubertal autogynephilic arousal. This shows as ‘crushes’ on the self as a girl. Other evidence suggests that events at or around the time of puberty may have triggered the condition. These seem to be associated with very early masturbation and orgasmic experiences.

In other cases, AGPs have reported a strict upbringing wherein masturbation was forcefully opposed as something that only ‘dirty little boys’ did. It would seem simple to conclude that the subject might have got round this opprobrium by imagining himself as a girl, rather than a boy. Others used plush animals and somehow this became connected to the sense of self as a girl. (Exactly how this mechanism works is not clear but it seems to be something like ‘masturbating using a girl’s toy makes me a girl’ — and autogynephilia does the rest.)

In other cases, it is clear that porn was implicated. In the modern context there does seem to be a correlation between exposure to ‘shemale’ porn and AGP; here the porn seems to act like a trigger. Given that this form of porn is still increasing in popularity and if there is a such a correlation, it seems likely that AGP, either overt or covert, should continue to increase too. Again, however, research is next to impossible due to resistance from AGPs.

In one internet narrative, the subject explained that after discovering ‘shemale’ porn, he began to identify with the transwomen portrayed during his masturbation and so came to be aroused by the idea of himself as a transwoman. This then fuelled his transition as he desired to have sex with women, again, as a transwoman. This actually appears to be quite common.

This is certainly not a comprehensive list but just a sample; Dr Anne Lawrence’s ‘Men Trapped in Men’s Bodies’ is a must-read here. These potential triggers and propensities would not be mutually exclusive, of course; one characteristic of AGP is the huge array of variations it has.

Management

With no cure in sight and any attempt to find one being blocked by those it would help most, if you have AGP then your best recourse is to find a way to manage it. Ideally I would suggest psycho-analysis to explore what triggered the disorder, to begin with. Unfortunately, my correspondents tell me that finding such a therapist, who is not fully on board with the ‘transition express train’, can be extremely difficult. Some have even asserted that several therapists, instead of trying to help them manage and control the disorder, instead tried to get them to accept the inevitability of transition.

There is no such inevitability. Countless men have managed AGP throughout their lives, without transitioning.

How can it be managed?

For a person over 25 I would suggest that transition be an absolute last resort; even MtF HSTS, who are vastly more feminine, generally transition before that. This counter-indication just gets more severe, the older the subject. Creating a person who cannot pass successfully as a woman, and then calling that person one, causes as many problems as it might cure.

In terms of treatment, some clinicians report success using testosterone-suppressing drugs; but there are no widespread trials of this therapy. Again, this is because the AGP lobby has completely hijacked the debate and does its best to prevent any research into autogynephilia.

Orchiectomy

It is possible that orchiectomy (removal of the testes) might help relieve autogynephilic urges. It is likely this element of Genital Reconstruction Surgery (GRS), sometimes called ‘SRS’ or ‘sex change’ that provides some relief from AGP feelings, rather than the removal of the penis — although I would not expect a post-operative AGP to admit to that.

If this were to be carried out, however, it would be imperative to harvest and safely store sufficient samples of sperm to allow the subject to father children, if he later desisted. Once again, we have no real idea of desistance rates, post-surgery. In addition, orchiectomy can lead to an increase in suicidality and, because AGPs are men, there is a higher risk of successful completion. One acquaintance of mine died in exactly this way, but it is far from rare. Orchiectomy would have to be approached with great care.

Controlling the mental urges

No autogynephilic male, anywhere, is a woman. Therefore, the obsession that he is must be a mental condition. It follows that techniques of mind-training might be useful, especially where the more conventional avenues of assistance have either failed or are a part of the ‘transition express train’.

If you are religious then you might talk to a priest. It’s unlikely that any of the Protestant denominations could help, but priests in the Catholic Church are generally better trained. Alternatively, consider investigating a religion that develops self-control, like Buddhism. Meditation, yoga, T’ai Chi and other methods may also help. All should be tried till one is found that works.

Autogynephilia, Narcissism, Addiction

Autogynephilia, in many ways, behaves exactly like narcotics addiction. Rewarding it releases endorphins which the body will increasingly crave. People who combine narcissistic personalities with addictive ones appear to be particularly prone to completely succumbing to the condition.

In a provocative study, “Narcissism as Addiction to Esteem,” Roy Baumeister and Kathleen Vohs argued that narcissism is, in fact, more like an addiction than a life-long personality trait. They applied the cycle of addiction—cravings, increasing tolerance, and withdrawal—to narcissism and found that, indeed, “craving to feel superior and the indulgence of those cravings may be the defining feature of narcissism,” and narcissists appear to be “constantly on the lookout for new and greater triumphs that bring them greater glory.” Finally, the authors address withdrawal: “When narcissists receive something other than the admiration they crave—indifference, criticism, disrespect—they exhibit considerable distress.”

These comments ring true of Autogynephilia and it would therefore seem reasonable that successful methods for treating Addicted Narcissists might also be helpful here.

Craig Malkin, a therapist and author of Rethinking Narcissism (explained) “When someone has narcissistic personality disorder and a substance abuse problem,” he said, “it’s not enough for them to beat their drug addiction; they also have to beat their addiction to feeling special.”

Practical management

In terms of day-to-day management there are two basic approaches: using drug therapy as discussed above to reduce the intensity of the symptoms; and partial satisfaction of the condition to do the same thing.

However, AGP, as seen above, is a narcissistic personality disorder that shows similarity to addictive disorders. Extreme care must be taken to ensure that any technique of partial satisfaction does not trigger an addictive binge. The subject here is very much like an alcoholic; one drink and he goes on a bender.

Binge and Purge

This explains why so many AGPs ‘binge and purge’. That is, they buy women’s clothing — often extremely sexualised like basques, frilly underwear, stockings — to masturbate with. (If you think that’s extreme. Mike Bailey, in his book ‘The Man Who Would Be Queen’ describes an AGP who used a prosthetic vagina to hide his penis during his sessions — and such items are readily available on-line.)

After building up to an intense peak of autogynephilic arousal and satisfaction, the subject, just as the alcoholic does, dives into a slough of despond, becomes depressed and ‘swears off’. He then gets rid of all his props and promises never to repeat his ways; but after a few weeks the urge gets too great, he steals a pair of panties from his wife and the cycle is kicked off again.

If the addictive response can be controlled, then management may work.

For example, some men wear women’s underwear or a pair of stockings under male work clothes. Others may isolate AGP behaviourally, confining the indulgence to particular times and places. This latter may be in company with other AGPs (Be warned: these can turn into full sex orgies, so make sure you know what you’re getting into, especially if you’re younger and cuter, as a woman.)

Remember that excessive reward of AGP will make it worse, so that it might take over. The idea here is to control and regulate it, not to encourage it. AGP is not, in itself, either immoral or necessarily bad; it is the massive destruction it can cause to the subject’s life, and those of the people around him, that we should be concerned about.

The good news is that many men succeed in this; it’s only in the last few decades that they have been encouraged to succumb to a pernicious, invasive condition, often by so-called professionals. Until then, most AGPs were covert and died keeping their secret, although there were always a few who ‘came out’. We still do not know what the relative proportions of overt/covert AGP are.

Some AGPs engage the services of trans prostitutes. Many such actually advertise their willingness to participate in ‘dressing’ play and to penetrate their partners, something that AGPs, while ‘en femme’ frequently desire.

Finally, partial or complete social transition might work. In this, the subject ‘dresses’ in public and may even take feminising hormones. The French artist Marcel Duchamp, for example, had a transvestite alter ego he called ‘Rrose Selavy’. However, he was operating in a Bohemian milieu in New York, where artists were expected to do odd things. It might be harder to get away with in a small town.

I cannot stress strongly enough that Genital Reconstruction Surgery, GRS, also called SRS or ‘sex change’ should be avoided. All AGPs are actually heterosexual men with a personality disorder and removing their manhood is a step neither they, nor their advisers, should ever countenance. (This is the very opposite from HSTS, where GRS is a reasonable therapy.)

AGP and HSTS

AGP is NOT like Homosexual transsexualism or HSTS.

HSTS is a function of Sexual Inversion, or, feminine male homosexuality and masculine female homosexuality. These are also called ‘transgender homosexuality’. While the precise cause is not established, there is significant evidence that it is due to abnormalities in hormone delivery in the womb. Where boys don’t get enough testosterone, they are partially feminised and where girls get too much, they are partially masculinised.

In the most complete forms of Sexual Inversion, full transition is usually required, although this is, to some extent, socially conditioned; in many parts of the world, where the idea of a girl having a penis is at least tolerated, most simply transition socially, that is, they grow their hair, dress as woman, take feminising hormones and probably have minor cosmetic surgeries.

Where GRS is desired and indicated, in the case of HSTS, then, if it is carried out at a young age, the subject will usually pass easily in the target gender and have a full life. All they really need is a nice man to love them and a social place that accepts them. (If MtF, opposite for FtM.)

AGP is a disorder, not a variation

AGP is not a natural variation of sexuality and subjects are no more feminine than the average related male. It is a narcissistic mental disorder and even in places where AGPs transition young and can feminise themselves more effectively, they still rarely ‘pass’. The classic middle-aged profile, most common in the West, has absolutely NO CHANCE of passing, in 95% of cases. Their recourse is to bully others into ‘accept’ them as what they are not — women. Some people, and I am one, find this level of coercion unacceptable and I would urge those affected not to indulge in it. It loses you allies.

Management of AGP must provide a method of satisfying the paraphilia sufficiently such that it does not have severe consequences like suicidality, depression, alcoholism and so on, while maintaining an understanding, on the part of the subject, that he is a man and can never be a woman. He must learn to control his impulses and channel his sexual energy, which is at the root of this, in more positive directions. That will be difficult, especially in the ongoing atmosphere of prudishness typical of the US, which it is, sadly and as usual, exporting, alongside the ‘transition express train’.

Adolescent AGP: an exception to the rule.

The one possible exception to this might be adolescent-appearing AGP. This was not discussed by Blanchard in his original research, because then, it was very rare, but it is described in the DSM.

Teenage-transition AGP is more common in areas like southeast Asia, however. Here, AGPs can become strikingly beautiful transwomen, because they begin hormones at 12-16 years old and come from ethnicities where features tend to be naturally softer. But they are dependent on cultural conditions in the area they live, which are too complex to discuss here and, in any case, simply are not present in the West.

Further, in my experience, many such AGPs will desist (detransition) when their looks fade, typically in their mid-to-late 30s. They may then marry and become fathers. (HSTS don’t; if they ‘desist’, it’s a matter of presenting as highly effeminate gay males rather than transwomen. But I know HSTS here who are well into their 50s, going strong and looking good.)

An AGP in this position obviously should not undergo GRS.

Full transition is a mistake for most AGPs.

Finally, AGPs themselves are told by many, including clinicians, that the best path to take is just to transition. This is a catastrophic mistake for a Western AGP anything much over about 20-25 years old. AGPs are not differentiated morphologically from the broader male population, as HSTS are. Even by 20 they will be noticeably masculinised. They will not slip easily into the social role of a woman.

Transition will cost an AGP everything

An AGP who is married, has a career, children, a house, a car, may look forward to losing ALL OF THAT. The LOT. Although the Western AGP lobby is keen to showcase those instances where women have been loyal enough — or weak enough — to stay with their transitioned husband, this is rare. The price of transition, for most AGPs, is the complete loss of everything they have worked to establish.

]]>Today is not the first time that feminism has threatened to destroy civilisation. It’s very interesting to note, if you study the mythologies of the ancient Levant on which Christianity is based, how the Goddess, symbolic of women, became identified with Satan. The serpent and the dragon (just a bigger version) were always creatures of the Goddess. The day aspect of the Goddess in Sumerian mythology was called Inanna (later Ishtar) whose uncle, Enki, was her closest ally. Enki frequently appeared as a snake. Later, still in the eastern Levant, the Akkadian god Marduk kills the Goddess in the form of Tiamat, a huge dragon. (This gives us all the Medusa, St George and so on stories.) Satan, of course, in the Garden of Eden, is the Serpent — the Goddess’ closest ally. This identification of serpent/dragon/goddess/woman pervades our culture.

Why does it do so? Feminism, of course, argues that this was a plot to suppress women by demonising them. But that’s not the only possible explanation. Could it be because women have tried to dominate society in the past and the stories are a warning against ever allowing that to happen again? Because our forefathers knew what happened when women emasculated society.

Early settlements were women’s spaces

The early settlements, at places like Catal Hoyuk in Anotolia and Ain Ghazal in Jordan, were women’s spaces. We can tell this by looking at the way they are organised. There’s no city wall; no defensive structures. They’re just agglomerations of houses around a central space, where women and children would have gathered. You can see an identical development form in many parts of the world today, for example southeast Asia. These were matriarchal spaces, built around women.

A general view of the Uruk archaeological site at Warka in Iraq.The site of Uruk was discovered in 1849 by William Kennett Loftus who led the first excavations from 1850 to 1854. The Arabic name of Babylonia, al-Iraq, is thought to be derived from the name Uruk, via Aramaic (Erech) and possibly Middle Persian (Eraq) transmission.

Civilisation always begins with defensive structures. Usually, a wall or palisade is the first thing to be built. Why would this happen? Because men’s role is defence and protection. It’s the first instinct of a man, after the urge to reproduce: protect your family from outside.

What was outside? Perhaps hostile people but more likely, animals. And not just predators. Large herbivores and raiding animals had to be kept out too; there’s not much point in cultivating crops if they can be stolen.

Feminism has spent much time trying to establish a different timeline, such that monumental cities were built before the walls surrounding them. In only one case, Caral in South America, have we ever found a monumental city with no surrounding wall. The reason is that one was not needed: Caral is in a desert and there was neither another city nearby nor threat from animals. Perhaps a wall was just not necessary. But that is a decision that men could as easily have made as women. They, after all, were going to have to build the city; if no wall were needed, why go to the trouble?

All the evidence we have is that the first cities, even Caral, were built by men. Not one was built by women.

Once we have well defended cities, of course, it becomes an easy task to go and attack other cities without fear of retribution; this is often claimed. Men, in this model, are naturally bandits, who will, at the drop of a hat, set off on rapine and plunder.

The trouble is, it doesn’t make sense. If your city has a great wall and so does mine, what’s the point in me attacking yours?

Counting coup

The First People of the Americas might have a clue for us. Amongst the north American tribes there was a practice of staging mock battles. Participants carried sticks dipped in paint, with which they hit each other. If you were hit, you were out and the paint-daub proved it. The team with the most standing at the end, won. This was called by colonials ‘counting coup’ after the French word for ‘strike’. In essence, it was the ancient equivalent of paintball.

So could rivalry between cities have developed from this harmless play? We don’t know; but the fact that equivalents to ‘counting coup’, in the playful, regulated form of sport is practically a human constant practised everywhere, is a strong support.

But if men were happy meeting up in teams once a week, running around hitting each other with curved sticks and then getting royally leathered afterwards was so popular, why would war begin?

The purpose of war, though much agonised over in the contemporary context was, in the ancient one, simple. It was to acquire wealth. No more, no less. You stripped the defeated enemy of his goods and chattels and carried them off to your city.

Yanomami girl

Why? Men are basically simple souls, happy to go hunting, fishing, playing football with each other. In some tribes, such as the Yanomami, violence is a part of inter-clan culture but even there it is strictly regulated. It’s war with rules. Similar systems existed in the Celtic worlds and indeed, it is likely from this that ideas of chivalry – originally a code of battle between chevaliers or knights – came from: the regulation of violence. In other words, all out war is unnatural to men — which should surprise nobody, since fighting to the death is rare in social animals.

Plunder and looting

So where does the plunder and looting come in?

For this, we need to look back home. The primary imperative of a man is to sire children and naturally, he wants to sire them with the best possible mother. This choice is usually made on the basis of physical beauty, but not always.

In a society wherein property is accumulated, everything has a price. So, sex itself has a price. You can no longer woo your beloved with a couple of rabbits for dinner; you have to prove your wealth and ability to ‘take care of her’.

We don’t know when the traditions of bride-price (paid to the groom’s family) or dowry (paid to the bride’s) first appeared but it was certainly present in ancient Uruk. Further, it is often argued that writing, enumeration and accounting were all invented in Sumer, by women, who used clay balls with inscriptions on as tallies. So women invented not just money but money-based, rather than barter-based, commerce, and sex was one of the very first commodities they sold; we even know that reitualised temple prostitution — which still goes on in some parts of the world — was important to the Goddess temples of Sumer, because it was an income. All women in Uruk, for example, were expected to prostitute themselves on the steps of the Temple and the money went straight into the coffers. If a child were conceived, she would be raised in the Temple as a ‘child of God’.

Men did not invent prostitution; women did. The reason for that we shall discuss elsewhere but, in essence, it boils down to the fact that, where women were inaccessible to men, they would form pederastic relationships with boys, which were not taboo anywhere in the ancient world. It was far easier for a man to find a boy as a sexual partner than a woman. In other words, women were in competition with boys for casual sex.

Bride-price and dowry: proof that women have made sex into a commodity

Both bride-price and dowry indicate that sex has become a commodity that can be purchased. Severe penalties were meted out to young women who became pregnant outside wedlock, because they automatically became a social burden. Men, on the other hand, in many cultures, established sexual and romantic relationships with boys until they had the wherewithal to marry. This, in Greece, was called pederasty but it appears to have occurred almost everywhere.

This development meant that young men hoping to attract the best wives required a fortune and warfare was just the way to get it. For thousands of years from the time of Eannatum, King of Lagash (c. 2455-2425 BC), up to the present time the principal purpose of war has been and remains the acquisition of property or power over it. The acquisition, in other words, of wealth.

It doesn’t matter whether the specific culture prescribes a bride-price or a dowry; in the former, the groom and his family must find the money and in the latter, the girl’s father and his family must. So they have to go out and get it and the easiest way is to steal it. Stealing from your own tribe is unacceptable so you have to steal from someone else. This is war, socially sanctioned violence.

Men had no choice then, but to build city walls. How else could they stop marauders coming in to steal back what they had stolen – or even, as in the case of the Sabines, carry off the women and girls entirely?
This is the reason for the close association between women, the Goddess and warfare. Inanna, the light aspect of the Goddess, is lust and death, while her dark counterpart, Ereshkigal is tranquillity and rebirth.

Inanna, Ishtar and many other goddesses are at once both nubile maidens and deities of war. Why? Because men go to war to secure marriage with them. This creates a nexus: women, sex and death.

Apollo and Dionysus

Men are Apollonian and women Dionysian. Men are of the bright day; they rule with law and honour. They seek clarity. They like rules and are prepared to obey them, even to the death. They are methodical and economical. Men have feelings but they know that to be men, these must be mastered. Intemperance is the greatest dishonour for a man.

Women are not like that. They personify the Dionysian and as such they are of night. They thrive in the darkness of nuance, of mystery and myth, of feelings and impressions. They are happy to let their feelings be known; indeed, they weaponise them. They detest rules, as tennis player Serena Williams demonstrated, in her appalling tirade against an umpire earlier this year. Yet they insist on female privilege, which is what allows them to get away with behaviour like that, when a man would not.

The dilemma faced by men has always been the same. They love and desire women for physical pleasure, for the satisfaction of feminine beauty and, of course, as mothers of their children. But they also know that women are destructive and dangerous; that they will see death if it please them, but they will use a man to accomplish it. That is what gives us the archetype of Lady MacBeth. The risks of association with a woman is scarcely less, for a man, than those of the spider as he approaches his mate; after the pleasure of coitus, he will be made to pay.

Lady MacBeth. This, of course, is the prize that costs so much: the soft flesh of a woman’s body

Mythology and history expose the menace of feminism

The mythology and the historical record, tell us that when men are emasculated and women assert political authority, civilisation fails. War, chaos, anarchy, ruin, death and destruction follow. There is plenty of evidence from the Levant and elsewhere that catastrophic warfare broke out because the masculine rule of law and order collapsed. Civilisation is a function of masculinity: men build it, not women, but lust for women is the destructive force that destroys it. That is why the codes that civilisation is founded on, like the Laws of Hammurabi, were put in place by men, not women, and why they constrain the activities of women, That wise old king knew what their intrigues could do, how their whispers and coy glances could set man against man and that men, being Apollonian, could never understand how they were being manipulated.

Camille Paglia was right when she said that if culture had been left to women we would still be living in grass huts. Every great civilisational triumph, everywhere, has been because of men; not one was because of women. We did it.

Women, contrary to the lies of feminism, had their chance. The evidence from pre-civilised cultures suggests that the matriarchal hubs they revolved around were politically dominant. That changed when we began building cities; but why did it? In every instance where civilisation appeared, it was created by men. Why? If women were so great at running the world, would they not have built Uruk, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome? Why didn’t they?

Because making babies is what women do, making culture and civilisation is what men do. When we follow this simple rule, successful civilisation results; when we lose sight of it, civilisation collapses. And that is what we are seeing today, in the West.

Modern feminism

Modern feminism turns women into men. It denigrates motherhood in favour of playing masculine roles in society. It encourages young people to think that ‘gender is just a construct’ so unhappy boys can be girls and unhappy girls can be boys. But why are they unhappy? Because they have been taught, by the whispering serpent of modern public education, which is itself no more than a mask for feminism, that ‘conventional gender roles’ are bad –despite the fact that gender and these very ‘gender roles’ have been central to human success. It is no accident at all that a recent UK report bemoans that there are almost no male primary teachers left and even in high school, women teachers outnumber men many times over. This catastrophic state of affairs is almost as bad in Higher Education, where there is now a 60:40 imbalance in favour of women in US universities.

Why all of this? Because feminism knows that the only way it can fully take over society, since actually killing men would be both dangerous and illegal, is to persuade them that being men is worthless and the only value in society comes from women. What lies!

I don’t care how you want to see yourself or what you want to wear; but modern feminism has consequences — such as, Western cultures are now running at a reproductive rate of around 1.5. In other words, they are already dying. The reason they are dying is because the lying serpent has indoctrinated women with the idea that being mothers is ‘second best’ and, if you should be so foolish as to give birth to a child, you must not waste your life bringing it up; no, that you must delegate to properly trained agents of the serpent, so that they may not acquire any ‘wrong ideas’. And, of course, you must not permit a man to be a part of the upbringing of the child, especially if that child is a girl; no, she must only have female role models and influences.

Western culture, the most advanced the world has ever seen, is now threatened by feminism and where it starts is in making boys think that becoming men is distasteful, dishonourable, even as they persuade girls that the single most definitive and rewarding thing a woman can do, becoming a mother, is a betrayal of her sex.

Feminism wants to destroy civilisation; we must not let it

When feminists say they want to destroy the patriarchy, what they mean is they intend to destroy civilisation itself and teaching boys that masculinity is bad is where they begin.

The history of the Levant and the eastern Mediterranean tells us that civil war is the likely result of a feminist take-over of civilisation and the serpent is not stupid; she has read her history books too. She calculates that if she can make boys ashamed to become men, they will accept a condition of tolerated servitude that much more easily. That perhaps they will not take up arms and go to war in defence of civilisation. That perhaps men will just lie down and accept it; the Matrix realised.

I say it is time to prove feminism wrong, to show that men will resist them, that we shall fight and that we shall not acquiesce in our own termination or go to sleep and watch passively as everything that has made us great is destroyed.

Kristanna Loken

Which thought reminds me of Kristanna Loken and her role as the Terminator in the third of the series. That version of the Terminator was made a woman through simple tokenism, but how revealing a slip it really was; for the Terminator we face today is indeed, a woman. A woman without children, not a mother, an emotionless cyborg, an ersatz pastiche of womanhood with no femininity left at all. The ideal feminist woman.

Loken’s character was, of course, defeated by an icon of masculinity, Arnold Scharzenegger. My question is, where is our Big Arnie now? Where is the masculine hero who will save civilisation from the serpent Terminator?

]]>Heterosexual is an orientation which is, in males, based on male sexuality. This, at its most simple, is the desire to penetrate. Femininity is the set of gender signals used by heterosexual women (ie, those who wish to be penetrated and are attracted to masculinity) to advertise their female sexuality. Heterosexual men respond to these gender signals. At the same time, to advertise their own male sexuality, they express masculine gender characteristics.

Gender is clearly about more than just sexual attraction, since it has reproductive components like nurturing, protecting, desire for children and so on. But its biggest, most important and most obvious factor is the signal it sends out about the sexuality of the individual. Such signals and the gender binary can even be observed in populations where the people wear no clothes and do not follow Western patterns of monogamous marriage, eg the Zoe people of the Amazon.

Zoe people — no clothes but clear gender division

So ‘straight’ men, in this context, are those men who are attracted to femininity who like to penetrate and avoid being penetrated. Gender and sexuality are two sides of the same coin.

There is no separate category for straight men who like transwomen; they are attracted to femininity and desire to penetrate. They are not bisexual (if that even exists). The problem has been that in Anglo-Saxon cultures, especially the USican one, there has been extreme homophobia and an insistence on biological essentialism, which has clouded the issue. A Roman would have understood it perfectly: he who penetrates is a man, she who is penetrated is a woman, no exceptions, and these irrespective of their natal sex organs. Losing, or deliberately suppressing, that understanding, as a sop to Usican prudishness, has made understanding homosexuality and transsexualism far more difficult than it needs to be.

I have talked to many straight, trans-attracted men over the last 15 years and every single one was also powerfully attracted to natal women. In fact, the standards of femininity desired by such men tend to be higher than the average.

Heterosexual men may think it better to pursue attractive transwomen than unattractive natal women

There seems (and here I am drawing on myself as well) to be a certain convention that, if the intention is not to have children, then it is more rewarding to pursue an attractive transwoman than an unattractive natal woman. Thousands of men visit southeast Asia to have sex or establish relationships with transwomen there — relationships in which they will penetrate the girl and absolutely do see her as a girl. Nearly all those I have spoken to say that they find transwomen are often more feminine than natal women.

(Of course, this gets right up the noses of the gender-crit Nazis and their fellow-travellers, since they are trying to destroy both masculinity and femininity, and through doing so, humanity itself.)

Here in the Philippines, there will always be a few ladyboys at parties or gatherings. They will invariably be in the upper third of feminine attractiveness of those present, presuming they are HSTS and it is not unusual to find that the most attractive girl there is actually a ladyboy.

Homophobia

There is no ‘internalised homophobia’ here: by the Roman model, the penetrator is a man and the penetrated a woman. If the latter transitions into a woman, then she has brought her gender into line with her sexuality and, by doing so, makes herself attractive to straight men. She’s just being honest with herself and the world: she knows that her desire to be penetrated makes her a woman, so why not just accept that? Why waste a life pretending to be something you’re not? Given the natural femininity that has been noted in such individuals, which makes it easier for them to ‘pass’ as women, why not? Because of essentialist notions like ‘born with a cock, must be a man’? Our Roman would be choking with laughter by now because he knows that a ‘man’ is much more than ‘adult born with a penis’ but is dependent on behaviour.

In fact, there is no ‘homophobia’ of any kind, because the relationship between a straight man and a transitioned HSTS is heterosexual. He’s a man, because he penetrates and she’s a woman, because she is penetrated. Simple. Why would people in a heterosexual relationship pretend to be homosexual? Because it’s fashionable?

Femininity

Because of the intermediate nature of a transwoman’s life, especially an HSTS one, she naturally attempts to make herself as feminine as possible. Unlike non-homosexual, autogynephilic transwomen, who rarely even approach passing in the West, HSTS transwomen there survive on passing ability. So of course they make themselves more feminine. This just makes them even more attractive to straight men. Trans-attracted men tend, when they have relations with natal women, to be extremely choosy and so, HSTS transwomen’s ‘hyper-femininity’ is like a searchlight to a moth. I certainly never dated a woman who was not extremely feminine, ever, whether she was trans or natal and this experience has been shared to me by many.

So this attraction pattern is not only heterosexual but also an exaggerated form of heterosexuality. It’s turbo-charged. While trans-attracted straight men are frequently accused of ‘fetishising the penis’ (often by autogynephilic transvestites who themselves chase women) this is a misrepresentation. Many of us do respond sexually to the penis, but it is as a part of a girl’s body, like her breasts or her thighs. We have normalised it as a part of the person we desire. We don’t accept penetration, because we are men. If we fetishise anything, I suggest, it would be femininity itself – and can that really be a fetish, outside the poisoned mind of a feminist? Femininity is the gender presentation that attracts straight men, so are men attracted to ‘hyper-femininity’ not simply ‘hyper-heterosexual’?

Other types of men

Autogynephiles

Studies at NorthWestern University in Chicago and direct observation, however, show that these straight men are not the only ones attracted to transwomen. There are non- or pre- trans autogynephilic men, who are attracted to femininity but who desire to be penetrated. The educational careers of several ladyboys I know in Thailand – and many more whom I don’t – have been funded by their ability to give what such men desire, that is, a stiff member, inserted anally, with force. Others have bought houses, cars, homes for their mothers, even; and this phenomenon is far from being restricted to southeast Asia. (Many of these girls are themselves transitioned autogynephiles but others are HSTS; the latter may hate having to penetrate, but it’s a job requirement.)

Are these men ‘straight’? I should say not. They are attracted to femininity, but they desire to be penetrated, to play the female role in sex. Our Roman would classify them instantly as women, no matter what they look like; just as he would mock the evident internalised homophobia that drives the New Gay Man, so he would laugh at this deceit.

I would not include any man who expresses a recurring desire to be penetrated ‘straight’ and I don’t care if it’s Helen of Troy with a dildo on doing it. I’d agree that a fair few have tried it, since men are sexual adventurers. I think they’re just being curious and when they find out how unpleasant it is, for a male with male sexuality, they never repeat the experiment. Taking pleasure in being penetrated anally – as many transwomen definitely do – is not something that men do or really understand, although we may be pleasantly rewarded when our partners orgasm like express trains as a result of it!

Femboys and pederastic homosexuals

There seems to be a third category of men who are attracted to transwomen who are actually pederastic homosexuals. They are not really attracted to femininity but to youthful masculinity; it’s just that neoteny, the preservation of child-like features, is an important component of both.

Essentially this is a variation on Narcissistic Homosexuality, but here the subject is sexually attracted to the image of himself as a pubescent boy and seeks partners who match that. There is in fact a class of kathoeys, baklas, ladyboys etc, loosely called ‘femboys’ who are significantly attractive to these men. Typically, such men will stop desiring a girl like this if her transition progresses and she becomes more feminine. (Again, I have frequently encountered men who specify that they are only interested in the ‘fresh femboy’ who can ‘shoot cum over the headboard’ — something that long-term feminising hormones will largely prevent.)

A Thai femboy. She displays the boyish features that pederasts like, while a trans-attracted straight man immediately imagines her with long hair, breasts and a dress. This girl is actually 22 years old and her time to decide, whether to attempt to live as a ‘gay man’ or to transition, is running out. Although southeast Asians can and sometimes do, successfully transition later, for most ethnicities, around 23 is the limit. Typically, a girl like this will already be taking low doses of feminising HRT to stave off the inevitable effects of testosterone, although, looking at the skin on her hands, this is not being fully effective.

The role that these femboys play is clear: they combine the androgyny of youthful masculinity with being old enough to be legal sexual partners. Sixty years ago the men who chase them would probably not have bothered with the ‘fem’ bit, they’d have been chasing boys — as Oscar Wilde and others famously did. But that can really ruin your life these days and pederastic homosexuals are not stupid — at least, unless they’re Paul Gadd. So they wait till the femboys are in their later teens when, because of the hormones they take, they look as if they are much younger.

This is probably too fem and not boy enough for the pederast

This brings up an interesting question: how does a trans-attracted male categorise such an individual? Is there a distinction between types? I think so. The straight man sees a young transwoman who has potential to become his desired target: in other words, he sees her exactly as any heterosexual man seeing a teenage natal girl would — ‘give her a few years and she’ll be just right’. Indeed, such men often have a horror of the girl masculinising. This is because of the cognitive dissonance he experiences any time his partner exhibits masculinity; he is repulsed by that.

The narcissistic, pederastic homosexual, on the other hand, sees his target as the boy she is ceasing to be; he is not interested in where she is going but rather, the remnants of where she has been. He may well discourage her use of hormones, to prevent feminisation. But this will not end well for the girl, because if the pederast establishes a relationship with her, he will dump her as and when she gets older or becomes too feminine. It is her boyishness, not her femininity, that he desires.

Death in Venice

In a sense there is always the miasma of loss, of corruption, of the death of beauty, in these pederast/femboy relationships, like the one that pervades Thomas Mann’s novel, ‘Death in Venice’. The mortality of the relationship is inevitable. The boy will simply become too old for the pederast, and either they will morph the relationship into one more resembling an uncle and nephew, likely dispensing with the sex, or they will part.

Once he has drained the life and youthful vigour from her, the pederast will turn her loose, now too old to transition and too habituated in the dark ways of New Gay Man culture to change. She will perhaps find another abandoned, abused femboy like herself, with whom she may establish a lesbian relationship, or she may turn into a male pederast herself; ‘turning top’ as the culture has it.

How straight men see femboys

Another way to describe this might be to say that to the straight man attracted to transwomen, seeing a teenage femboy is seeing a teenage girl. Numerous studies have confirmed that teenage girls are the most attractive to men, with attractiveness rising sharply just after puberty around 14 and then falling off somewhat after around 22. But this attraction to youthful women seems to be associated with the prediction of their suitability as mothers. In other words, the man looking at a teenage girl and finding her attractive is really seeing her at 22, as the young mother of his children. The trans-attracted straight man is seeing the exact same thing in the femboy. He is isolating the features that will lead to her being beautiful and a suitable partner as she grows older.

Pederastic homosexuals don’t want girls

The pederastic homosexual is not at all interested in where his femboy target is going. He seeks only to keep him as he is. He doesn’t want to see the boy grow more womanly, but to preserve his boy-looks in aspic, to keep him frozen in time at that point at which he was most attractive. Precisely when that is would depend on the individual, as pederasts often have very specific target age ranges. Crucially, where the straight trans-attracted man, looking at a femboy, sees someone he hopes will grow up into a beautiful woman, the pederast – because of his narcissism – sees a younger version of himself, whose perfection, a product of youth, is necessarily ephemeral.

This, as an aside, is another of the reasons why, within New Gay Man culture, femininity is treated with such hostility. NGM is a bizarre mixture of types but two important ones are the Narcissistic Homosexual, in love with his own masculinity and the Pederastic Homosexual, who is in love with the image of himself as a perfect boy. The former detests femininity in any form and for the latter to work the NGM must attract and seduce pretty youths, whom it then proceeds to try to stamp the femininity out of. It grooms them instead to become pederasts in their turn. This is torture for young male Sexual Inverts, who are routinely recruited into NGM culture as fresh meat. There they will be preyed on and abused, when what they should really do is transition in order to escape the entire ghastly culture for good. That is why encouraging young male Sexual Inverts to ‘just be gay’ is such a monstrously cruel thing to do to them. They will never achieve happiness in such a system.

Sly and tricky

So, again, the trans-attracted pederast is definitely not a straight man. He is similar to the AGP male and to other Narcissistic Homosexuals, in having a sexual target based both on and inside himself, a phenomenon known as an Erotic Target Location Error or ETLE. The difference between the conventional AGP trans-attracted male and the homosexual types is that the former is strongly attracted to femininity and the latter to adult or youthful masculinity.

In fact the pederast is trans-attracted only by accident, as it were, seeking a sexual target that satisfies his desire yet will not land him in prison. Transwomen are not really his ‘thing’; boys are.

But he is sly enough to know that today, openly pursuing boys will get him in big trouble. So instead, he waits till they’re eighteen, then ruins their lives on the altar of his pederasty.

]]>Sexual inverts, or, in males, ‘feminine homosexuals’ — along with a range of much less polite vernacular terms — make up a class of homosexuals which have been identified, for over 100 years, as having characteristics of the opposite sex. I’ve just been reading over a group of papers on this, with one typical being Zucker 1993 ‘Physical Attractiveness of Boys with Gender Identity Disorder’. That is by no means the most recent, with numerous studies by a swathe of researchers making the same findings, along with 2D:4D finger length ratios and other measurable parameters. The observed facts are that male sexual inverts are naturally feminine (and female ones are masculine.) This was first noted, in the modern era, by Karl Ulrichs, was written about in depth by Havelock Ellis and has NEVER been refuted. It remains the scientific consensus.

Physical characteristics of Sexual Inverts

Being naturally gorgeous and feminine: ladyboys in Chiang Mai, Thailand

The clustering of physical and behavioural characteristics in the group is far more than can be explained by chance. They were formerly called ‘Sexual Inverts’, a term I have now begun using again. They are cross-sex identified and same-sex oriented from childhood and will often exhibit Early Onset or Homosexual Gender Dysphoria, sometimes as young as 2 years old. If they transition they are HomoSexual TransSexuals or HSTS.

Male Sexual Inverts have repeatedly been noted to be shorter than the average for related males. There are always outliers but even where they are taller, the literature notes that they tend to be slender and more lightly-built. This is verifiable by observation. Transition is the natural developmental end-point for such a person and the life-path most likely to lead to happiness — and this works even in cultures like the Anglo-Saxon West where, until recently, tolerance for HSTS transwomen was close to zero. But transwomen did it successfully because they are so feminine that NOBODY EVER KNEW they were transwomen. That alone should tell you something.

HSTS transwomen range from being so naturally feminine that it is next to impossible for them to convincingly ‘pass’ as men, to somewhat less so, but still noticeably feminised. In cultures like those in southeast Asia, the full spectrum of types can easily be observed.

Not all ‘gays’ are Sexual Inverts

Nobody is suggesting that all ‘gay’ males are Sexual Inverts. Many clearly are not. Within New Gay Man culture there are pederasts, non-trans autogynephiles and sexual opportunists, not to mention those who have been seduced into the lifestyle by its superficial glamour, as a protest against conventional social mores and many other reasons. But the entire culture is clustered around the group of sexual inverts, the ‘pretty boys’ (pueri delicati, they were called in Rome) who are drawn into it in their teens. Many of these (though not all) are Sexual Inverts and, in less transphobic cultures, most would transition. This should be seen as a positive outcome for such individuals.

I was going to put in a picture of some macho gays to show what they’re like, but I couldn’t. So have a cute ladyboy and her pals instead, much nicer

Transition risks.

The risks of transitioning HRT for MtF are minute and were written about eloquently here:

Very few transwomen in southeast Asia, usually known to themselves as ladyboys, undergo GRS, although many do have other cosmetic surgery, like breast implants. But the fact is that generally, most Sexual Invert/Early Onset/HSTS types don’t need that to look feminine. (The AGP type very much does exist in Asia, and they often need all the help they can get to look feminine; but even they rarely go for GRS.)

Here’s a thing: you can’t have it both ways.

Either homosexuality is innate, or it’s acquired, in which latter case, people could be conditioned out of it. And that appears to be the very last thing New Gay Man activists want to hear. ‘Once gay, always gay,’ that’s the saying. But the truth is that homosexuality is only innate for sexual inverts; for most others, it’s acquired — and so could be treated. It’s a lifestyle choice, often a statement of youthful rebellion, that can have terrible consequences.

Before you criticise transwomen for taking the path they do, remember that the alternative for male Sexual Inverts, in the West, is the New Gay Man culture, which is a ruthless, pederastic meat-market that preys on pretty boys. ‘Gay’ culture in southeast Asia is far more gentle but that is because nearly all ‘gay’ men here consider themselves to be ‘women inside’ and do not attempt to hang on to a pretence of masculinity. They exist, as a group, within the same social space as women and are accepted there; they are not persecuted or forced to hide.

Southeast Asian ladyboy culture — kathoey, bakla, beki, bading, waria as well as others like newhalf in Japan — provides a social space for male sexual inverts that is far more successful and less traumatising than the Western New Gay Man. That social space — which is generally nurturing and protective — is probably why the New Gay Men — the so-called ‘macho gays’ — are ridiculed here. They just don’t fit; there is no social space for them. They are seen for what they are — women pretending to be men in order to pursue other women pretending to be men.

All About HSTS is the web’s foremost resource on Sexual Inversion and HomoSexual TransSexualism.http://allabouthsts.com

New Gay Man identity is a product of the toxic Western Anglo-Saxon culture, which is itself intensely pederastic. The New Gay Man exemplifies this; it is a classic pederastic meat-grinder that uses pretty boys until their prettiness is all gone and then either throws them on the scrap-heap or turns them into ageing, predatory pederasts themselves. Worse, far worse, is that the pederasty of this system is entirely hedonistic and contains none of the didactic or mentoring qualities that such systems had in Ancient Greece or Japan, say.

The Bottom Line

Every case is different and has to be considered on its merits, but the old mantra ‘it’s better to be gay than trans’ is self-serving bullshit. However, the New Gay Man apologists know that without the regular supply of fresh meat in the form of pretty young boys, their system will collapse. Jim Fouratt, one of the leading New Gay Man apologists of the last half-century, has said exactly that, on many occasions. In order to ensure the continued supply of the required young bodies, New Gay Man apologists recruit gullible academics and others, some of whom may mean well but do not see the massive deception they are being sold, and some of whom are politically motivated and don’t care.

The bottom line is: we should not be condemning boys to this lifestyle if they could successfully live as women.

]]>Autogynephilia is defined as ‘a man’s propensity to be aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman’. It is a paraphilia or mental disorder which afflicts heterosexual men. It is typified by a range of behaviours through which the subject gains sexualised or directly sexual gratification from behaviours that he considers ‘womanly’. These can range from cross-dressed masturbation to knitting to wearing typically female clothing under masculine work clothes.

Autogynephilia bears no relationship whatsoever to True Transsexualism or HomoSexual TransSexualism (HSTS) which is the natural end-point of Sexual Inversion, in which a subject of one sex has the sexuality normally associated with the other. Since Gender and Sexuality are normally inseparable, such individuals, given an appropriate social climate, may transition and indeed, probably should do so. Autogynephilia, however, is not a sexuality but a paraphilia. Victims remain heterosexual men and their sexuality is male. This means that transition is unlikely to provide long-lasting relief.

It is not known how many men are afflicted with autogynephilia. This is partly because of the complexity of the condition and the variety of ways through which it cn be expressed. Autogynephilia comes in four or five basic forms, depending on which authority is being quoted. These are behavioural, anatomic, transvestic and physiological. The fifth, when it is used is inter-personal, but many observers feel that this is already contained within the behavioural category. These forms can appear alone but more commonly, the subject exhibits several at once.

Autogynephilia is uniquely experienced by heterosexual men and appears at or after puberty, though it can have a very long latency period, often being suppressed for decades. It has three sexual variations: heterosexual, in which the subject is attracted to women; pseudo-bisexual, in which the subject experiments with sex as a woman — including sex with men; and analloerotic or ‘asexual’ in which the subject does not have sex with other people. (Asexual is misleading here because the subject is usually having plenty of sex, it’s just that it’s solo.)

In the West, until recently, overt autogynephilia was principally exhibited by middle-aged men who tended to be married and have had socially normative lives. The appearance of the disorder, in these cases, often causes massive familial upheaval. It frequently results in divorce, loss of family, loss of career, loss of status and, not uncommonly, bankruptcy. Less commonly but even more sadly. suicidality, especially post-transition, increases.

So is there a cure for this debilitating condition? This video discusses the matter.

]]>Bisexualism has a chequered history. Beloved by its proponents, it lacks convincing support, at least in the West, where it is taken to mean, more or less, ‘equal attraction to both masculinity and femininity’. Actual studies are conflicting and the consensus must be that more depends on the way the question is put than reality. Look at the following pictures. Can it really be possible to be sexually attracted as much to the one as the other?

I don’t think so. Yet there is one form of bisexualism in males that is well-supported and documented. It is a function of Autogynephilia. a very common fetish of straight men.

Sexual inversion

Many homosexual males and females are Sexual Inverts, that is, males who prefer to be penetrated and females who prefer not to be. (It’s not quite the same because females cannot naturally both penetrate and be penetrated, while males can.) We don’t know exactly why this occurs but numerous studies, over a period of decades, have pointed towards irregularities in hormone delivery to the foetus in utero and this is the best supported explanation at present.

In sexual inversion, a male has female sexuality. He is attracted to masculinity and desires to be penetrated; usually they see themselves as women, though this is to some extent socially influenced. The inverse applies to females. Sexual Inverts may suffer severe Gender Dysphoria and might transition, in which case they are then called HomoSexual TransSexuals, HSTS, or True Transsexuals. However, there are many other causes of same-sex sexual, or homosexual, behaviour.

Does bisexualism exist?

‘Bisexualism’ remains moot. I have never seen convincing evidence that it exists, in males. There is always another, more reasonable explanation.

There is some evidence that bisexualism exists in females and here it might be an ‘exaptation’ that allows related females to come together to ensure the survival of their children, where their male partners have been killed or otherwise disappeared (remember that all human societies are based in tribalism, where the individuals are all very closely related.) In such an arrangement, the biparental family structure could be accommodated by a sexualised or quasi-sexualised relationship between two women who already have dependent children and are thus unlikely to be able to find a new husband. In these cases, bisexualism is effectively serial – the women were formerly heterosexual but have entered a lesbian relationship for their mutual benefit as mothers. Nevertheless, while they presumably do remain sexually attracted to men, they must have become sexually attracted to another woman, in order to pull this trick off.

Women, especially closely-related ones, form bonds of affection surrounding their children in a way that men do not. While these may not be sexualised in terms of practice, there remain parallels and there are certainly instances where such relationships may move to providing sexual gratification for women. These might help to explain bisexualism in women.

Since men do not have the birthing and nurturing components to their sexuality that women do, it’s hard to see how this exaptation might work there. Males are naturally competitive, since it is competition with other men, to impregnate women, that ensures reproductive success. Men expend huge amounts of effort to achieve impregnation and almost none in reproduction itself, whereas women are exactly the opposite. That is because the male’s primary interest, albeit tempered by society, is in siring as many children as he can, whereas the female’s interest is in ensuring that the children she does bear, survive to sexual maturity. Given the differences between male and female sexuality, it is hard to see how bisexualism, which might have an adaptive advantage in females, could have one in males.

This suggests that the old saw, quoted by Mike Bailey, was right, at least as regards men – they are ‘gay, straight or lying’.

Bisexual as gay male

In many areas outside the West it is axiomatic that ‘bisexual’ is a form of gay sexual expression; in fact there is no coherent separation between ‘gay’ and ‘bisexual’ there. In south-east Asia, ‘bisexuals’ are gay males who are prepared both to penetrate and to be penetrated. They are what might be called, in the West, ‘versatile gays’. This latter, however, appears to be a convenience. No gay man will ever be able to get what he really wants, which is a straight, masculine man, unless he completes his transition into a woman. Those who do not do so find that they must ‘do for each other’ in an exchange of sex roles. In cases where two such males have formed stable relationships with each other, that I know of, this exchange has become more-or-less solidified and one partner has become much more masculine while the other has transitioned socially into a woman. This is due to the social rule ‘girls go with boys and boys go with girls’ – which, in the West and only there, is denied.

Western Bisexualism.

This is not what is meant in the Western sense of bisexualism, which is ill-defined as a form of attraction or sexuality. This is doubtless the result of Anglo-Saxon prudishness and the reluctance to discuss anal sex, which is obviously a necessity in sexual relationships between men. ‘Bisexual’ in this context has come to mean something like ‘homosexual but only sometimes’. This seems little better than a conceit. In fact, the Western model of bisexualism appears to be completely without substance, with one exception.

Pseudo-bisexualism — the only real form of bisexualism in males

That single exception, in males, is pseudo-bisexualism, which is a function of autogynephilia or AGP (and possibly also of its female equivalent, Autoandrophilia.) AGP is ‘a man’s propensity to be aroused at the thought or image of himself as a woman’. This is the cause of all male non-homosexual gender dysphoria, in Blanchard Theory. Not all AGP males exhibit pseudo-bisexualism, but this appears to be at least partly related to culture.

In the West there have historically been relatively few pseudo-bisexual autogynephiles, about 20% in Blanchard’s studies.

Pseudo-bisexualism

Pseudo-bisexualism causes AGP men to seek to satisfy their fetishistic desire to ‘be women’ by being penetrated. Since they are naturally attracted to femininity and repulsed by masculinity, however, they often seek transwomen to penetrate them. This leads to many problems since HSTS, who are usually far more feminine, are themselves repulsed by being asked to penetrate, meaning AGP transwomen (who have male sexuality and are therefore willing to penetrate) are better suited to this.

These men are attracted to femininity but in sexual practice, they are women. They definitely do fetishise their partners’ penises and the role of ‘being women’ in sex. For many, especially in more misogynistic cultures, this many be associated with a narcissistic desire for self-emasculation. AGPs who are recognised as powerful male figures frequently demonstrate this. As an example, one such, the CEO of a successful technology company, married and with children, explained to me that he was ‘a completely heterosexual, virile alpha-male who easily dominated other men’; but found the act of becoming a woman and being sodomised (in his case, by a trans prostitute) was the most deeply soothing and relaxing thing he could do. In shucking off his masculine persona, in other words, he was able to escape from the cares and stress of his professional career.

Pseudo-bisexualism is a process by which the invented AGP character may be affirmed as a woman through social and sexual relations with men. There are two components: non-sexual and sexual. The first works through the expression of desire, by men, for the subject, and the other is via the act of sex itself. This latter is often through being penetrated in ‘sex as a woman’, but not always; some pseudo-bi AGPs remain penetrative even after social transition. (The ‘top ladyboy’ in southeast Asia is an expression of this and it is striking that they are invariably more masculine, to put it mildly.)

These components are not always associated, which is why some pseudo-bisexual AGPs deliberately attract men’s admiration then reject them as ‘chasers’, if they actually attempt to move to sex. In the non-sexual form it is only the provocation of desire or admiration that is needed, so consummation is actively rejected. In fact the AGP subjects, who, after all, are heterosexual men, may well see a man who is prepared to pursue them sexually as homosexual. Given the well-known homophobia of Western AGPs, this causes a powerful reaction.

In the sexual form, it is actual penetration that is desired, though again, this may not be straightforward. Again, the AGP may be unable, because of his male sexuality, to allow himself to be penetrated, and instead may try to penetrate his partners. This is likely to cause significant cognitive dissonance and might be implicated in why Western AGPs are often analloerotic or ‘asexual’ – the kind of sex they would like to have, they are unable to have, so they have none. Alternatively, such men may only penetrate other AGP males like themselves, while both parties are dressed as women.

Many pseudo-bisexual AGPs do NOT transition socially and may instead remain a part of ‘gay’ society. (‘Gay” is a broad-based lifestyle, ‘homosexual’ is an orientation. They are not the same.) These may appear as ‘bottoms’ although they will probably not be particularly feminine, or even handsome. Again, they may incur significant cognitive dissonance in having sex with other men and might use alcohol or drugs to reduce this.

On the other hand, they might be married and seek to be ‘pegged’ by their partners. Some of the latter might be ‘closet gays’. Some might be ‘men who have sex with men’ or ‘MSM’ who pursue ‘top’ ‘gay’ men for sex, although most MSMs appear to be opportunist penetrators.

Pseudo-bisexual males are only having sex with men for affirmation, so if another means presents, then their need for such sexual reward may reduce. For some AGPs, it is enough to have one single sexual encounter with a man to affirm their ‘inner woman’, although for others, regular encounters may be desired.

Remember that under every single AGP there is a heterosexual man and all such men are repulsed by the idea of sex with other men. This may lead to binge/purge cycling, similar to that seen in transvestic AGPs, where the subject indulges in sex and then is overwhelmed by guilt. This will be especially likely in strongly homophobic cultures.

Post-transition

In transitioners, most pseudo-bisexualism occurs either post-transition or while the subject is cross-dressed. Feminising hormonal treatments or HRT may be involved in provoking this. In non-homosexual female transitioners, this seems to be even more marked, probably because testosterone is relatively so much more powerful than oestrogen. On the other hand, in some cases, beginning hormone treatment may cause a reduction in need for other AGP affirmations; this is as much a ‘talisman’ effect as a consequence of the drugs. It appears to be the symbolic ingestion of cross-sex hormones that satisfies the autogynephilic urge, in these cases. (I’m not aware of any serious studies that used placebos to test this; perhaps a reader might know of one.)

All expressions of AGP are massively socially-conditioned and this accounts for its marked difference of appearance in different cultures. For example, nearly all AGPs in southeast Asia are pseudo-bisexual, because of a strong cultural imperative that ‘boys go with girls and girls go with boys’. Some do contravene this but they face significant push-back from the broader culture, including from gays, women and other transwomen. This effect has misled a number of Western researchers into thinking AGP is rare in the area; it’s not, you just have to know where to look, and what to look for.

This cultural effect also accounts for why some ‘gay’ men may later transition. In fact they are AGP and pseudo-bisexual. In areas, like large Western cities, where the gay lifestyle has been tolerated, even celebrated for decades, such individuals naturally gravitate towards it, in order to seek sexual satisfaction by being penetrated. However, where transition becomes better and more widely accepted, they may well follow that path. This would at least ease the massive cognitive dissonance they experienced as ‘gay men’.

A Caveat:

Finally, please note that the above only applies to autogynephilia and NOT to male Sexual Inversion, ‘feminine homosexuality’, Early Onset Gender Dysphoria, Homosexual Transsexualism or HSTS. This is a natural variation of sexuality caused, at present state of knowledge, by as-yet not fully understood pre-natal mechanisms. It always appears prior to puberty and displays, in the individual, a clustering of physical cross-sex traits that are not limited to homosexuality or cross-sex identification.

There are plenty of other ways to get sex. You can just pay for it on an as-required basis or you can just hire a maid and service provider for a very modest sum.

http://rodfleming.com/2018/11/27/narcissistic-homosexual/#commentsTue, 27 Nov 2018 07:42:08 +0000http://rodfleming.com/?p=11679It is often not realised that the male homosexual culture of the West is not homogeneous but instead a conglomeration of several sexual types. One of these is the Sexual Invert, which we have discussed at length. Another, just as important but much less well-understood, is the Narcissistic Homosexual. ‘Sexual Inverts’ are either male with …

‘Sexual Inverts’ are either male with female sexuality or female with male sexuality. In other words, their sexuality is the inverse of what might be expected for their sex. They were described by Karl Ulrichs and Havelock Ellis amongst others. Since gender is the means by which we communicate our sexuality to others, male inverts desire to be feminine and females, masculine. The specific expression ranges from, in males, mildly camp to full social, hormonal and surgical transition, to True or homosexual transsexualism, HSTS. (It is a scale of variation.) All male sexual inverts are naturally more or less feminised and all female sexual inverts are naturally the opposite. They often have real difficulty living in the gender their sex would suggest.

Theirs is not, however, the only form that male homosexuality can take.

‘the homosexual makes love to a person of the SAME sex – in a way, to his REFLECTION. In this respect, homosexual relations are highly narcissistic’ – Sam Vaknin.

The ‘accommodationist’; or ‘assimilationist’ male homosexual movement, which I call the New Gay Man, is the dominant expression of male homosexuality in the Anglo-Saxon West today, although not in the rest of the world. This actually appeared in the decade beginning in 1960 and, by 1990, had become pre-eminent. Although it is centred around a core of non-transitioning male sexual inverts, it is dominated by another male homosexual type, the Narcissist Homosexual.

This man is attracted to his own masculinity and detests any sign of femininity either in himself or his partners. He is far from the ‘gentle and sweet’ image of male homosexuality that the New Gay Man exists to promote. Instead he may be a vicious exploiter.

He can be bullying and coercive, and may behave in an arrogant, bombastic manner, shouting down his opponents. Stephen Fry, famously of this type, has made something of a selling point of this; his avuncular affectation does little to disguise it. But Fry is by no means alone and also, by no means the worst.

Such a man will attempt to eradicate any sign of femininity in his partners. His attraction is never to femininity but always to masculinity, of a form that he idolises — either as he himself once was, or as he is now. This man suffers, like autogynephilic transvestites (AGP), from an Erotic Target Location Error. His sexual target is located inside himself, instead of outside, in another person. When he seeks a partner, he seeks the reflection of what he sees in himself. But, unlike the AGP, that sexual target is not a woman but a ‘perfect boy’; the expression of male beauty that the Narcissist Homosexual believes he himself is, which was conceived when he first began to become sexually self-aware.

This propensity may have begun in his private masturbation sessions or in experiments with group masturbation with other boys. If he was in an environment where there were no girls, like the infamous English Public Schools (actually fee-paying private schools,) which are notorious breeding-grounds for pederasty, this form of sex might have been his only experience, as a youth. In it, he may have been pedicated by older boys and possibly masters, before himself becoming a pederast in his later school years.

This element of the system is usually over-estimated. Quentin Crisp, the famous English sexual invert who attended a school like this, could only describe one such incident. The likelihood is that most homosexual activity in these establishments is not penetrative but rather, exploratory. Nevertheless, enough is penetrative for it to have been widely noted. Indeed, across Europe, pederasty became known as ‘the English condition’.

Most boys who go through this system manage to normalise it as part of growing up to lead a conventional male life. They get married, have children and so on. Some, however, may have become fascinated by the juvenile male body, as a direct result of their interaction with others like themselves and, once sensitised, continued to pursue it even as they aged. This is, of course, the classic pederast. His principal sexual targets are youthful boys. Examples are too numerous to list, but we all know of Oscar Wilde, a classic.

The narcissistic homosexual as husband

This man may marry, although he is unlikely to make a pleasant husband. He will not have any of the empathy for women that a Sexual Invert would — but then, very few such inverts ever marry, except for social reasons. He is not attracted to femininity, but to youthful masculinity and in his relationships with women, will see them as boys. If he does form relationships with women, he will prefer them to adopt boyish looks and demeanour; a preference for androgyny is likely.

If he marries and then has affairs (which he is likely to,) the Narcissistic Homosexual will tend have them with other males, not women, although some may become serial users of prostitutes. This seems to be related to the idea of demeaning the women involved. Since these men detest femininity, they are not seeking to replicate the pleasures of a mutually loving relationship, but their internal fantasies of abusing women. These men are not bisexual, nor are they homosexual in the way that a male sexual invert is. Instead they are fetishists, indulging in a range of activities that satisfy these.

(Amongst these men, ‘spanking’ porn, where women are administered corporal punishment as an act of sex, appears popular. This might have resulted from experiencing such punishment themselves as boys, but more likely is caused by an eroticisation of such behaviour as a means of demeaning the sexual target. This might be related to an upbringing in which sex or masturbation was condemned by parents, church or school; the subject punishes his sexual target or, paradoxically, some may invert this and seek to be physically abused themselves. There is clear evidence, from the services offered by escort ‘Mistresses’, that this goes much further than pornography and is not restricted to narcissistic homosexuals.)

The narcissistic homosexual and penetration

Narcissistic Homosexuals usually dislike being penetrated, unlike male Sexual Inverts or non-transitioned autogynephiles, who also constitute part of New Gay Man culture. As a result their repertoire of sexual practice is restricted in that regard. If they penetrate, it will usually be as pederasts, with younger males. With men of their own age or near to it, they may still penetrate, seeking out Sexual Inverts to satisfy themselves — the younger the better.

To an extent, this appears to be the ‘ideal relationship’ of an older pederastic homosexual, whose desire is to penetrate youthful males, and a younger sexual invert whose desire is to be penetrated by older males. It is less simple, though, because any femininity on the part of their sexual target will repulse them and it is hard for a male sexual invert to hide his femininity. This may result in the older, penetrating male mentally — or even physically — abusing the younger one, since he sees femininity as disgusting. Just as those who use prostitutes may demean them because they are women, they may demean feminine boys for being womanly.

As well as that, from the narcissistic homosexual’s perspective, attraction can only be maintained as long as the invert remains both youthful and sufficiently masculine. This is a tightrope and eventually the invert is almost bound to fall off it — at which point the narcissist will seek another target. The narcissist — because of what he is — is stimulated by the act of conquest; the more juvenile bottoms he can pedicate the better. This is on of the causes of the notoriously high levels of promiscuity in New Gay Man culture.

Perhaps the most distressing element of Narcissistic Homosexual behaviour, especially in its propensity towards pederasty, is that confused boys who are not actual sexual inverts can be ‘turned’ to homosexual activities and the gay lifestyle by homosexual narcissists.

There are only two ways out of this ghastly, vicious cycle, for the sexual invert. One is to transition into a woman, but this will be ferociously resisted by the New Gay Man community — witness the furore when writer Juno Dawson did so. It takes a strong will, especially if the individual has delayed long into his twenties, or even later. The other is to establish a relationship with another male sexual invert, but this again is fraught because such a relationship is fundamentally lesbian in nature. As Masters and Johnson pointed out, in this case ‘the parts don’t fit.’

Many narcissistic homosexuals, because of their absolute horror of being penetrated, or even being asked to be, will only engage in non-penetrative stimulation with similar males. Being penetrated instantly makes a man into a woman and, for a man who detests femininity and womanhood in himself and others, this would be intolerable. Freud noted that mutual masturbation was surprisingly prevalent amongst homosexuals and this is probably why.

In some cases like this, the Narcissistic Homosexual may find his sexual target getting older as he himself ages. In this case, that target will be almost a mirror image of himself. This is where the ‘clone gay’ comes from, and why there are such things as ‘bears’ — narcissistic old men who sexually stimulate each other. In these cases, at the risk of disappointing the aficionados of gay porn, the Narcissistic Homosexual is likely to focus on masturbation with similarly-inclined males. In effect, this is no different from masturbating in front of a mirror — and this kind of ‘matey masturbation’ is likely to have been a mainstay of his sexual practice since his own adolescence.

Mutual Experimentation

Most boys go through a period of mutual experimentation with sex. This, today, probably involves internet porn. Decades ago, it was girly magazines, which were coveted and shared, often surviving for years under adolescent boys’ beds. But this is a shared sexual experience rather than an individual one. Boys show other boys how to masturbate better. This may be restricted to shared or mutual masturbation but might extend to ‘frotting’ where the sexual organ is rubbed on the partners’ body. Oral sex may be included but anal penetration seems much more rare.

For the majority of boys, this is a perfectly normal stage in their sexual development and as they mature they will begin to seek sex with women. They will seek to realise that which they have been rehearsing for. But some appear to get stuck in this phase. If so their principal attraction may always remain to pubescent boys, the perfect examples of juvenile masculinity that they themselves once were. This association with early masturbation may be why Narcissistic Homosexuality only ever appears in adolescence or even later, while Sexual Inversion can manifest as young as the age of two.

Sexual inverts are completely different from the Narcissistic Homosexual. Their attraction, if they are male, to masculinity is not a function of narcissism. It is a function instead of a psycho-sexual inversion. Males, with this, have female sexuality. Female sexuality is ‘to be penetrated’ and requires feminine gender to advertise this. As a result, male sexual inverts tend to be enthusiastic about being penetrated anally.

The invert’s adoption of feminine gender, however puts him immediately at odds with the narcissist, who either detests femininity as ‘unmasculine’ or is simply not attracted to it. This causes, in passing, the Narcissistic Homosexual male to adopt a bizarre, extreme form of faux masculinity, often becoming obsessed with leather gear, motorcycles and even weaponry. These individuals do not realise — or perhaps do not care — that real masculinity always contains a degree of femininity. This is what causes men to weep over their mothers’ graves and to become adoring, protective fathers. As in the Sumerian tale of An and Ki, the Sky-God and the Earth-Goddess, and in the Yin-Yang, masculinity and femininity are inseparable; it is this dichotomy that makes us human.

Conflict

The conflict between two forms of male homosexuality, the Narcissistic Homosexual and the Sexual Invert, caused the celebrated falling-out between Magnus Hirschfeld, a sexual invert, and Benedict Friedlaender, a narcissistic homosexual.

Friedlaender was the first in the modern era to describe the narcissistic homosexual type. His writings went on to influence the ideas and sexuality of the Nazis, amongst others. Many of these were notorious pederasts; witness the Sturmabteilung (SA) Brownshirts and their leader, Ernst Röhm. The Hitler Youth could have been created as their feeding-ground and, across the whole of Occupied Europe, German officers were infamous for their predation on local youths. To be fair, however, the Nazis were not the only hyper-masculine, militaristic tradition to be so affected by the narcissistic homosexual, as a visitor to the tribal areas of Pakistan or Afghanistan will swiftly discover.

]]>Homosexual transsexuals exactly fit the profile of ‘sexual inversion’ as defined over a hundred years ago by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825-1895)

‘The truth of the invert was inside rather than on the surface; thus a male invert was “really” a woman, and should be allowed to express a female gender, and a female invert was “really” a man, and should be allowed to dress and live as one. Inversion also referred to the ways in which such bodies inverted the laws of nature, which supposedly decreed that male bodies should desire female sexual partners instead of male ones, and vice versa. The theory of sexual inversion maintained conventional categories of sexuality and gender and did not allow one to be divided from the other. Inversion meant that a man’s homosexual desires, effeminacy, or both did not challenge masculine gender or heterosexual sexual norms; rather, a perfectly normal heterosexual woman with a feminine gender was trapped inside him, yearning to come out.’ (Encyclopedia.com)

(Ellis uses the term ‘congenital’ which remains unproven. It is clear that what he is talking about is innate and must result from biological factors occurring either in the womb or shortly after birth; but we do not know whether the trigger for whatever these might be is congenital, that is, a result of a specific gene mutation. However, the condition is innate and not acquired. I prefer to use the term ‘innate’.)

Ellis’ massive study of human sexuality, Studies in the Psychology of Sex, which is downloadable via this page HERE, contains a whole volume on sexual inversion, and he defines this as above on the first page. Note that both Ulrichs and Ellis agreed that this sexual inversion was innate. It was inborn and not a matter of choice.

‘Queer theory’

Yet today, the idea of sexual inversion is repudiated by ‘queer theorists’.. How did this come about? How is it that a perfectly reasonable explanation for innate homosexuality — Ellis in particular was at pains to point out that this was not the only form of homosexuality, that acquired forms also existed — could be so rejected, by the very people it so accurately describes?

It’s because the Theory of Sexual Inversion proves an innate link between sexual orientation and gender. This is a link that regular readers will know I consider to be unchallengeable — yet one which is anathema to New Gay Man activists and others, including feminists, who have been claiming for decades — without a scrap of evidence — that ‘sexuality and gender are not related’. It’s time we realised that these objections amount to a shibboleth; they are purely political in nature and have no basis whatsoever in science.

Innate homosexuality is sexual inversion; and this is the strongest indicator of transsexualism

Homosexuality — which in this case is strictly interpreted as ‘attracted exclusively to same sex from childhood’ is one of the diagnostics of homosexual transsexualism. There are others — most importantly, intense cross-sex identification, also from childhood. These two phenomena may be observed from the 2-4 age range, according to the DSM and are clearly so in the 5-11 range.

Alongside these two parameters, we typically see others: in males, tendency to slightness, lightness for height, slenderness and fine bones (Blanchard 1991 but many others have observed this too); neoteny, that is the preservation of youthful features into adulthood, and since youthful features are so strongly implicated in female attractiveness (to men) this makes HSTS very conventionally attractive as women; digit ratios, elbow flexure, voice and many others all cluster on one type and that type is Homosexual. (That is, an individual with sexual inversion). In females, the inverse of these tends to be true.

This type is precisely what Ulrichs and Havelock Ellis identified as ‘congenital sexual inversion’ to differentiate it from ‘acquired sexual inversion’ — over a hundred years ago. Their rationale has NEVER been scientifically refuted.

Freud: wrong again

Unfortunately, Sigmund Freud did not share this view, which is directly supportable by observation, preferring his ‘sex drive’ model. He expounded this in his 1905 ‘Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality’ in which he claimed that all humans were innately bisexual, and that their adult orientation was formed entirely by environment — their childhood experiences, in other words.

Freud has the unique distinction of having been wrong about pretty much everything and this is no exception. Nevertheless he came to dominate psychiatric thinking, especially in the USA, although psychology was less affected.

Freud stated, in support of his argument, that ‘I have never carried through any psychoanalysis of a man or a woman without discovering a very significant homosexual tendency.’

Confirmation bias is a risk that modern researchers are at pains to avoid; Freud was not. This would be bad — indeed it was fatal to his reputation in the later 20th century — but, alone, would not have proven his theory of universal bisexualism false. Essentially, Freud was a ‘Blank-Slate’ follower who believed that the human psyche was formed entirely by environmental factors. This belief, however, was a plausible conjecture rather than a hypothesis supported by behavioural studies.

Today, hundreds of studies, of a wide range of phenomena have overturned the Blank-Slate Theory and have shown that we are instead very much, although not entirely, the products of our genes. That this is the case is resisted by those who cling to Blank Slate ideology and to Freud’s explanation of human behaviour, especially sexuality; but without any evidence, their claim is spurious.

Childhood Crushes

We now know that childhood ‘crushes’, or proto-romantic attachments, are strong indicators of adult sexuality. These occur well before puberty, at which point sexuality is regarded as being ‘not fully formed’. That might well be true, but the evidence is that it has already begun to crystallise. Since these crushes occur years before puberty and the events surrounding it that Freud considered to be crucial in determining adult sexual orientation, this suggests that part of human sexuality at least is innate. This is supported by studies that show morphological characteristics that tend to differentiate homosexuals from the broader population; it is not reasonable to suggest that these, which are marked, can be the result of childhood environment. (Blanchard 1991)

Specifically, same-sex crushes reliably predict adult homosexuality. The evidence for opposite-sex crushes is less well understood, in particular why it is that some people who have opposite-sex crushes do become homosexual.

The correlation between same-sex crushes and adult homosexuality was the subject of a huge study by Beard et al, published in 2015, which, again, demonstrated the link, with the authors saying: ‘Early same-sex crushes were the most powerful predictor of adult homosexual orientations’.

Freud’s legacy

While we can reasonably propose that Freud, today, is less than entirely reliable, that does not, or at least should not, diminish his importance as a pioneer of the understanding of the mind.

In the USA, Freud became immensely fashionable and his view was widely adopted, especially by the psychiatric community — despite the fact that it was not supported by evidence. This divide actually led the psychological (as opposed to psychiatric) community to focus on behaviourism, which is still the case — and the root of the frequent attacks on behaviourist thinking, is those people who still, either consciously or unconsciously, side with the Blank Slate ideology, along with Freud and his speculations.

Freud, of course, was not alone in his Blank Slate posture; the great anthropologists of the early 20th century, many of whom were, like Freud, influenced by German thinking, such as Franz Boas and Margaret Meade, were similarly intellectually oriented — and have been similarly debunked by modern science, with its basis in empiricism and Evolutionary Theory.

Different forms of homosexuality

Ellis, following Ulrichs, had already identified the physical characteristics that differentiated homosexual males from others. These individuals, using Ellis’ term ‘congenital sexual inversion’ (it’s certainly innate, congenital remains moot) can be of two types: transsexual, in which case they will have the intense cross-sex identification and so powerful gender dysphoria, and non-transsexual, the typical feminine homosexual male or masculine female.

Nobody ever, and certainly not Ellis, suggested that all homosexuals (in his usage) exhibited this sexual inversion; indeed he’s at pains to make it clear that they do not. (Today we might say ‘homosexuals are a subset of ‘gays”).

Differences in sexual inversion

The differences between these two expressions of sexual inversion are simply the intensity of Gender Dysphoria, that is the discomfort at appearing in a gender that does not match one’s sexuality, and the individual’s ability to tolerate that discomfort. They are both fully homosexual; and the appearance of childhood same-sex crushes and marked cross-sex identification is further evidence that this homosexual type is innate and not acquired. In other words, it is not formed by childhood experience; Freud was wrong.

However, all of this is made even more complicated because the amount to which an individual of this type publicly displays homosexual orientation or cross-sex identification, or both, varies wildly from culture to culture, such that in some, almost all transition and live in the opposite gender and in others, almost none do. The unfortunate consequence of this is that it has allowed some people to insist, wrongly, that there is no link between sexual orientation and gender. This claim is specious, not least because it fails to control for the social environment. If being recognised as a homosexual would get you ‘thrown off the highest building in the city’ it should come as no surprise that many, in such circumstances, do everything they can to hide their sexual inversion.

In the Philippines, for example, far more people with sexual inversion transition, because that is accepted by the culture; indeed, we might argue that it is, to an extent expected. In the West, being a ‘gay man’ is more acceptable and, until recently, most HSTS had to live covertly, with nobody knowing their background, because of their fear of reaction.

The axiom of sexual inversion and transition

Hence it is axiomatic that ‘an HSTS will transition when he or she feels that his or her cross-sex identification and the discomfort of the concomitant Gender Dysphoria, outweighs his or her fear of the consequences of transition’.

Individuals in this group are never bisexual and their sexual inversion is innate, not acquired. They are always fully homosexual. Males have female sexuality and females have male sexuality; that is to say, males seek to be penetrated and play the submissive role in sex, and females seek to penetrated and play the dominant role. Under ideal circumstances, they will all transition and live in the gender their inverted sexuality requires; in less than ideal circumstances, fewer will.

Sexual inversion and bisexualism

Women do appear to have a tendency towards bisexualism. We can posit good evolutionary reasons for that, such as shared child-rearing roles and mutual protection amongst women whose male partners have been killed or otherwise lost. In pooling the resources of the couple, this model is practical and pragmatic. But they seem to be more akin to a deep friendship than a passionately sexual love. One woman described the sex she had with her partner, in such a relationship, as being largely shared masturbation, which she called ‘matey’.

However, it does not follow that we can make the claim that MtF transsexuals would behave in anything like the same manner. They are not women, even if they do have female sexuality (if male). They are much more like women than men but they are not the same.

Mutual benefit lesbianism versus sexual inversion in females

The ‘mutual benefit’ type of female homosexual activity, described above, is clearly very different from the transgender type, in which one person plays the male role and the other the female. In the Philippines, both are observable. Often, two women whose husbands are lost, either through ill-fortune or their own fecklessness, will come together to establish a family unit for mutual support of themselves and their dependent children.

It’s striking that, where such ‘mutual benefit’ lesbian relationships become established, one partner will tend to become more ‘butch’ in appearance and dress while the other remains ‘fem’. This is mirrored in the cases where two ‘bisexuals’, that is, in the local usage, masculine-appearing homosexual males, establish a settled relationship. Here, one partner will almost always feminise himself and effectively transition, while the other becomes more masculine; they both abandon their somewhat ambivalent presentations, but in the opposite directions.

This happens because Western ‘egalitarian’ homosexuality — for example, between two hairy masculine men or ‘lipstick lesbians’ — lies outside the accepted cultural norms in the Philippines. Two masculine men walking through a mall holding hands would definitely get stared at. Two girly-girls would probably be all right — girls here touch each other all the time — but if they were, say, to kiss in public, then that would not be so readily glossed over.

It’s all right to be gay or lesbian, in other words, as long as you keep to the rules — which specify that girls go with boys, or at least, that the appearance of this is maintained in the partners’ genders. Needless to say, this gets right up the noses of the few Western-style New Gay Men around, but they are not much listened to. Their carping does get some attention from the gay media, but those Westerners who live here are usually amazed by how tolerant of gay and lesbian individuals Filipino culture actually is; the fact that it rejects the norms of collapsing societies like the US is no bad thing, either.

Male-to-feminine transsexuals: classic sexual inversion

MtF transsexuals seem to be universally hostile to the idea of sex with women or with other transsexuals. In fact, they are famous for dumping boyfriends who exhibit any ‘gay tendencies’. Don Kulick and others have observed that, amongst Brazilian travestis (the local name for pre-operative transsexuals), a girl may pester her boyfriend insistently to let her penetrate him and then, if he does, immediately dump him, having proven him to be a ‘maricona’ after all. Since a maricona (faggot) is a woman exactly as the TS is, that is, having been born male, with a sexual inversion, a continued relationship with him would be regarded by the girl as lesbian – something she would not be prepared to countenance.

Kulick, in his book, Travesti, even mentions one case where the girl liked the man, so, after ‘outing’ him in this way and then he begging to stay with her…she put him in a frock and sent him out to work the streets, reasoning that it was unfair for her ass to pay for both of them, since he obviously liked dick in his, too!

Something similar occurs in the Philippines. ‘I’m not going to eat my own ass’ is the expression used.

It is very hard indeed to imagine any of these transwomen as being ‘bisexual’; the fact is, any transwoman who appears to be bisexual is AGP, with pseudo-bisexualism, which is quite different. It’s just that they tend to look better in Asia than in the Anglo-Saxon West.

Unfortunately, again, these distinctions, which are really important, are abandoned or even suppressed by ‘queer theorists’.
